Zephaniah 3:2-4

International Children’s Bible

² Her people don’t listen.
    They can’t be taught to do right.
They don’t trust the Lord.
    They don’t worship their God.
³ Their officers are like roaring lions.
    Their rulers are like hungry wolves that attack in the evening.
    In the morning nothing is left of those they attacked.
⁴ Their prophets are proud.
    They cannot be trusted.
Their priests don’t respect holy things.
    They break God’s teachings.
